Candle Sconce - 28cm wide.
Traditional sgraffitto decoration incorporating flowering plants.
Another shape that lends itself to this traditional style of decoration. A process that can take several hours for one pot alone. A contrasting coloured clay slip is coated over the warm terracotta clay and drawn through with the background being scratched away to leave the design.
